Laghonia - Etcetera (1971)

Laghonia was a peruvian psychedelic band. It's a quite a surprise that too few listeners know them.

In my opinion, nothing to remember for what concern about the songs. It's a honest album: not terrible neither amazing. Interesting for Eric Johnson's fans.

There are good tracks and
